About OBLIVION:

Experience the epic love story of OBSIDIAN as told by its hero, Daemon 
Black…

I knew the moment Katy Swartz moved in next door, there was going to be trouble. Lots of it.

And trouble’s the last thing I need, since I’m not exactly from around here. My people arrived on Earth from Lux, a planet thirteen billion light years away. Plus, if there’s one thing I know, it’s that humans can’t be trusted. We scare them. We can do things they only dream about, and honestly, we make them look weak as hell. ‘Cuz they are.

But Kat is getting to me in ways no one else has, and I can't stop myself from wanting her—or wanting to use my powers to protect her. She makes me weak, and I’m the strongest of our kind, tasked with protecting us all. So this one simple girl…she can mean the end for us. Because the Luxen have an even bigger enemy—the Arum, and I need to stay on my game.

Falling for Katy—a human—won't just place her in danger. It could get us all killed, and that’s one thing I’ll never let happen...


Interview with Daemon...


How many computers do you think you’ll have to replace for Katy in your lifetime?


Hopefully no more, because I’m pretty sure she’ll throat punch me if we fry out another laptop.

Kat is a huge reader. What is one book you would reread if you had to choose?


Go the F**K to Sleep

What is your favorite thing Katy and you do on a regular basis?


Kiss. The rest I can’t share because it goes into NR-17.

Review...


What can I say about this?  It is as good I as I had hoped it would be.  It's totally Daemon Black.  I loved it.

Here's the thing with retelling for me, there needs to be something more.  Simply retelling a story from a different characters POV doesn't hold my interest.  I know what's going to happen.  I need more.  This one was more.

Yes there are scenes that Katy wasn't part of that we see in this book.  Thankfully, not every scene we had before is redone with Daemon's POV.  Some are summarized.  But most of all, there is this transformation that takes place in Daemon's head.  And that is what I loved about his book.

Daemon has good reason to want to keep Katy away from Dee and the rest of the colony.  Of course, he does that with his normal charm and style...hehe.  But what is coming out of his mouth doesn't tell the whole story.  He doesn't understand what it is about Katy that keeps him making mistakes.  Why he can't leave her alone.  Yeah, Dee is part of it but there is several times that he uses that excuse and keeps going back.  He doesn't know why.  And that's where this transformation takes place.  From knowing he should stay away...to not being able to stay away but trying to...to realizing he doesn't want to stay away at all.  And I loved it.  And it's all done with typical Daemon Black charm.

Of course you will want to read this if you are a Lux fan.  I can't wait for the eBook to come so I can read more!  The print book only contains what would be Obsidian and I NEED more.  

Some favorite scenes:  The whole convincing her to go swimming with him...not what I was expecting.  The trip to the used bookstore!  When Dee told him Katy accepted a date with Simon!  When he saw her in the red dress!  And so many, many more.

Don't miss this one and don't put it off till later.

  1. So I skipped your review. I want to go into reading this one with no influence (which is probably silly). Loved your interview, especially his favorite book.
